I'm afraid I don't really understand your explanation. Why is handling a bytea so different from handling a varchar? I can see some differences due to its binary nature, but I do not understand why it needs so much special handling for stuff like its length? There is a length field in the structure but instead of using it the data field is used to store both, the length and the data. What am I missing? Please keep in mind that I did not write the descriptor code, so I may very well not see the obvious.
